Freedom...Rebooted!

The past fifteen years have seen the birth of new possibilities … and the festering of old grudges.

Fifteen years ago, I released Slipstream: The Price of Freedom. It was the end of my teenage years, I was moving away from high school life, and departing onto the journey that would be my twenties. Slipstream was a proud monument to my consumption of early-to-mid 2000s culture, but also a sore spot as an unfinished labor of love. As the 2010s began, I believed the Homeworld franchise had run its course, only to be proven wrong when Gearbox remastered both Homeworld and Homeworld 2 in 2015, then followed up with a prequel, Deserts of Kharak, in 2016. The announcement of Homeworld 3 led me to believe that Homeworld would finally see a resurgence. I waited patiently, even creating the Requiem for Freedom mod to pass the time.
